Friends Forever: Benefit 2021

 

On March 4, 2021, more than 1,000 parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty and administrative staff, friends of the School, and students tuned in for a special 50-minute online production, Friends Forever: Benefit 2021. The evening’s proceeds went towards the School’s increased financial needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the 2020-2021 school year, Friends Seminary was able to open the doors on time, and keep them open until the academic year ended. The evening’s record-breaking Paddle Raise went towards ensuring the safety and well-being of students, faculty and administrative staff. Despite physically being apart, Friends Forever: Benefit 2021 brought our entire community together, reminding us of why we love Friends and continue to support its mission.
